Dorgan, City Manager John M. Loete,Public Works Dire for SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement with Civil Engineering Services (CES) for Construction Observation of the Country Knoll/Brookside Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider an agreement with CES for construction engineering services for the Country Knoll/Brookside Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement with CES in the not-to-exceed amount of$46,000.00. BACKGROUND At their meeting on May 12, 2004 the City Council awarded the bid for the subject project to Callaghan Paving for a cost of $744,119.75. The project will include the removal and replacement of curb and gutter and sidewalk where necessary and repair of the pavement base. The existing pavement will be ground out and replaced with 5 inches of new asphalt. Construction is scheduled to begin July 19,2004. Bid documents for the Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation projects are prepared in-house by a construction inspector, who then oversees the project's construction. The engineering inspector assigned to this project recently had to have surgery on his ankle. Physical limitations placed on him during recovery only allow him to perform desk work and he will not be able to perform inspections in the field. Due to the current project workload, another in-house inspector is not available. It is therefore being recommended that a consultant be hired to provide the necessary inspection.
